mer costumes is at once handsome and
serviceRble.

the light weaving so popular in celors

longer considered good form. The SEN
sible English fashion now prevails among
the best people.

gathered from center to edge. The
handle is single piece OF red coral.
Breton embroidery and Byzantine en-
brOidery-the latter more elaborate, the

cream and light gray-gOld GALLON is
much used, and also gold brRiding, with
some light ornaments in bright cOlors,

ingly.
Lace dresses are worn as much as
ever, but more generally Of single
color, as for example, ecru lace over ecru
faile or fOulard, with, perhaps, bows Of
sapphire blue velvet for looping the dra-
peries.
Jerseys are more numerous than ever,
and of greater variety, plain and close
fitting; with vests of silk; braided and
beaded; with wide bOx-pleats down the
front and back a Ia Norfolk jacket, and
even made like blouse.

main the general fashion for trimming
ndbb hilu LhC VI
miiliner is to arrange these in various
odd ways, such as pleated half-wheels
made of tri-cOlored ribbons, the Topped
edges showing from the front instead OF
the entire width Of the bows. FOrked
ends and oOcksde bows closely tied and
densely clustered form another style,
and such tri-cOlors are chosen as salmon,
goblin blue, and Roman red, rosewood,
peachblOw and Persian mauve, olive,
periwinkle pink and ciel blue, and like
odd combinations.
